Schweizerisches Charivari was the name of a short-lived, political, illustrated Swiss magazine. The Swiss Charivari or the Swiss Charivari appeared in Bern from 1851 to 1853 . Due to its opposition radical-liberal stance and the banishment of the editor, the weekly was already in the following year.

history

As early as 1843, the magazine Schweizerisches Charivari , published in Lucerne from January 7th to March 25th, had been banned and confiscated by the emergency police before the first issue appeared. Arthur Bitter published a two-column radical-liberal weekly newspaper in Bern again from 1851 to 1852 under the name Schweizerisches Charivari . In Bern the conservatives came back to power in 1850 after a four-year interim with the radicals. The newly founded paper in the succession of the Gukkastens and the New Gukkastens saw itself as the mouthpiece of the radical-liberal opposition. Bitter was prosecuted as the publisher and banned from the canton of Bern in 1851. The Swiss Charivari stopped its publication in early 1853. Most of the illustrations in the Swiss Charivari are by Heinrich von Arx .
